Questions we hear most
If yours is not here, call or send us a message.
01Do you take my insurance?
It depends on your plan. We file claims for many PPO plans, and other plans work differently. Call us with your plan details and we check your benefits and tell you what to expect before you come in.
02What if I do not have insurance?
You can ask for a written estimate before any treatment. It lists the treatment, the visits it takes and the cost, so you can decide before you start.
03Do you accept Medicaid or CHIP?
Call us and we will answer plainly for your plan and your child’s plan. Coverage and our status with each plan can change, so we confirm before you book.
04Will it hurt?
We numb the area first, and most people feel pressure rather than pain. Tell us if anything hurts and we stop. If you are nervous, say so when you book.
05How often do I need X-rays and a cleaning?
Your dentist decides, based on your teeth, your history and your last X-rays. For many people that is every six months, and for some it is more or less often.
06What is a deep cleaning?
A deeper cleaning below the gumline for people whose gums show signs of disease. Your dentist shows you what they see and explains why it is recommended.
07Do you see children, and from what age?
Yes. Dr. Aditi Bhagat sees children, and parents can book back to back. Tell us your child’s age when you call and we will plan the first visit around it.
08What counts as a dental emergency?
Trouble breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that will not stop, is an emergency: call 911. For a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth or pain that cannot wait, call us right away and we will see you when we can.
09Do you offer sedation?
No. We numb the area for treatment and you can ask for a break at any time. If your treatment would call for sedation, we refer you and explain why.
10Can I get a written estimate before treatment?
Yes, always. Ask at scheduling or at your visit. It is in writing and lists the treatment, the visits and the cost.
11Do you speak Spanish?
Dr. Emiliano Aguilar speaks Spanish. Tell us when you book and we will schedule you with him when we can.
12How do I cancel or change a visit?
Call us or send a message as early as you can. We will move your visit to another day, and we let you know about any cancellation terms when you book.
